[QUOTE="wiley coyote, post: 660482, member: 7587"] WOW! Thanks for all that info Guys. I've now got a lot of options to consider to improve my system. I'll replace, or tighten any loose wires in the fried box first, (easiest). Then I'll replace the controller for a Epever Tracer. Huge choice though. From $14 to about $200. So will probably buy mid range. The battery's in the front locker, where you put all the tools for the caravan. It fits into an Aldi battery container secured to the floor, so it's sort of isolated from the tools. Awkward to get the battery in and out though. Had to use an engine crane. That was fun. Secured the crane chain to the battery handle. Half way out the handle snapped, and dropped the battery. Putting it back in, I hooked it up to the strap on the Aldi container. The plastic buckle on the container snapped and the battery hit the ground from about a metre up. I wised up then and chained it to the crane and got it in OK this time. All good fun! I'll be making a cradle with 4 chains on it to sit it in next time I need to lift it out. wiley. [/QUOTE]
